This weekend's project is sorting through my 49 gallon tote full of "greebles" (customizimg/model building slang for bits used to create tech/mechanical detailing). I have been customizing for over 30 years now and have amassed several hundred pounds of parts. I have been organizing them over the years to make finding specific parts needed for whatever project I am currently working on easier. I have separated them by type- i.e. all engines in one box, all vehicle mounted weapons in another etc- and then further sorted them so that all of the same parts are in the same bag in the same box as I often need multiples of the same part for a project. I had sorted everything in this manner except for my greebles box and now it is time to do so as I need a bunch of these parts for my next project. This is a daunting task but I am about 50% finished at this point.
The first pic in this post represents what I have already sorted and the second represents the unsorted remains. These bags are 2.5 gallon heavy duty ziplock bags, I use these as they resist puncturing from the often pointy or sharp pieces in them. These bags are all sorted by parts type (1 bag is full of "G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra"/"Retaliation" spring loaded launchers, another is full of pipes/cables/wires, another is full of various projectiles, etc.).

I should be working on this for a few hours a day for the next 2 days.

Now that's dedication. I need to go share this.

your greeblies are so much more organized than mine. when I have the need, the search for greeblies is almost as fun as the search for toys in brick and mortar stores used to be.

awe i remember those good ole days of finding what u wanted in a store.
sprectre i got the same thing going on with my figures accessories, since i don't have the space to display them everything goes in bags in plastic tubs. the only thing is warping from of gun barrels and what not. Lil hot water takes care of but still.
